Press Statement
Osun Guber: ‘APC’s Rigging Allegation, Infantile Blackmail’ - PDP
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has dismissed allegations by the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Chief John Odigie- Oyegun, of plots to rig Saturday’s governorship election in Osun as an “infantile blackmail” unbecoming of his office and status.
PDP National Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh in a statement on Thursday said the allegations are completely wild, baseless and mere fabrications aimed at distracting PDP members and supporters and discourage them from fully participating in the election. It said the allegation was a ploy by the APC to make its members and supporters over-confident and divert attention to their own sinister plan.
Stating that there will be no room for rigging, the PDP said “the process of accreditation, voting, counting of votes and declaration of results will be openly observed by the print, electronic and social media as well as local and international observers.”
The PDP said one of the legacies of President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration is free, fair and credible polls adding that “such will in no way be compromised in Osun or any other election for that matter.”
It therefore called on its members and supporters to completely disregard the APC and come out enmasse to vote for its candidate, Senator Iyiola Omisore, stressing that it remains focused on the election having worked very hard to earn the confidence and support of the people of Osun state.
The party reminded Nigerians of the fact that for the APC, elections are only free and fair when they win and rigged when they lose.
Signed:
Olisa Metuh
National Publicity Secretary

EFREN PENAFLORIDA - SOCIAL WORKER AND TEACHER

By
Efren’s Penaflorida – Social Worker and Teacher Efren Peñaflorida, Jr. sports no cape. He has no superpowers. You would neither throw him a second glance nor even notice him in a big crowd. There is really nothing special about Efren except his unparalleled dedication to reforming kids in their poverty-stricken community in Cavite, Philippines.Efren Peñaflorida, Jr.’s sanity was questioned when people first saw him going around the neighborhood pushing his improvised cart loaded with food, books, paper, pencils, and other things you would commonly see in a classroom. Why, Efren goes around the neighborhood pushing a mobile classroom to peddle the love for education. He left his well-paying job as a private school teacher to devote all of his time and effort to his Kariton Klasrum project while his neighbors mock him.To make matters worse, his parents and brother did not see the point in his earnestness to get out-of-school youths interested in going back to school. For a family s...
